WILLIS'S LATKVr tIIIPRO\ ED 8EKD SOIVER. 



WILLIS has made some considerable iniprovcmenls in 

 his beed tower, making it complete as lime and hard study 

 can possibly make it. In using this machine, the farmer 

 may he cerlam that his seed is put into the ground, and al 

 the same time in the best possible manner. There has been 

 a great difficulty in machines for s..wing garden seeds ; ihev 

 are very apt to clog up, and the farmer might go over an acre 

 ol land and lot sow a single seed ; but nol so with this ; ii 

 IS so construcled that it cannot possibly clof. In usine thm 

 sower, the fanner can save one half of hi.s seed, and do the 

 work at less than one quarter the expense of the common 

 way ol sowing his seeiis, and liave it done in a much heller 

 manner ; it opens Ihe furrow, drops the seed, io\ers it over 

 and rolls them down. It will sow any kind of Garden 

 heeds ; say Rula Baga, MuLgel Wuitzel, Turnips, Carrots, 

 Beets, P.-irsnijis, Onions, &c. i • . 



For sale at the Agricultural W.irehouse and Seed Stnre

A splendid article, will throw a constant stream of waier 

 to the distance of 60 or 60 feet, with great force, and in case

 most perfect article for the purpose ever introduced.

REvOLVIlNG HORSE RAKE. 



The Revolving Rake which has been in general use in 

 most parts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, is found to be 

 of the most useful and labor saving machines now in 

 use. One man and horse with a boy to lead, will rake on 

 n average from 25 to 30 acres per day, with ease, and do 

 the work well. They are coming inlo very general use in 

 all parts of the country, and will, no doubt, in a few years 

 supersede the use of the common hand rake. There is a 

 great advantage in this rake over all others, as the person 

 using it does not have to stop the horse to unload the rake. 



For sale at the Agricultural Warehouse and Seed Store 

 Nos. 51 and 52, North Market Street, Boston.
